Yankees Rally to Eke Out Win
The New York Yankees withstood a fine game by Tampa Bay right fielder Edward Olivares at Tropicana Field, to upend the Rays, 6-5. Olivares was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win belonged to Taylor Clarke in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Yariel Rodriguez took the loss for Tampa Bay. The loss makes Tampa Bay 7-12.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Spencer Steer came to bat in the top of the 11th. Facing Tampa Bay pitcher Yariel Rodriguez, he hit a 1-2 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 6-5.

"Every game matters," said New York manager Darrell S. "I'm really amplifying that message."
